The four official Philippine representatives were selected by Now United creator and American Idol producer Simon Fuller, para makasama sa 46 other finalists from around the globe for a weeklong dance, vocal, styling and social media workshops.

“Sabi nila you should make sure that your life is worth being told so I want to make sure that mine is going to be a good one. It’s also my dream to make it in America, not just for myself but also to ­represent the Philippines and it’s also for my friends and ­family,” sey ni Ylona.

At si AC na sa murang edad, pagkahusay-husay na talagang sumayaw.

“When it comes to dancing I’m really passionate about it. I’m going to give it my all,” she said.

“Una sa lahat it doesn’t mean that I’m ­leaving them. Kasi di ba sabi ko, you guys are still with me. Nu’ng una I felt like I’m leaving everyone behind ulit kasi di ba I left Australia and came here and left everyone.

Now I know that I’m not leaving them and they are still in my heart and I’m doing this for them,” sabi naman ni Ylona.
